I got some more clues by setting my Wireless Access Point to unsecured mode for a test and succeeded in connecting to it without any problems. So it's a WPA issue. So at least I know that now (and I know that the firmware and drivers are loaded and working). Does the chipset need to have built-in support WPA for it to work or does it only depend on the configuration of wpasupplicant et al, I wonder? I'm running Linux 2.6.26-2-686 by the way. Gonna compile a custom kernel for this machine though using the 2.6.32 kernel from backports. Any tests/hints appreciated... TIA, Sebi -- There are two problems with a major hangover.
